Positives -- Prototypical height and frame for the position... Can make every throw at the next level, shows good zip on deep outs and corner routes... Extremely efficient, averaged between 8.7 and 9.0 yards per attempt every season at Stanford... No wasted motion, effortless release... Very good at

selling the play action... Almost flawless footwork, does a great job in his drop steps... Tremendous accuracy; has completed 70 percent of his throws each of the past two years... Incredibly cerebral, understands what the defense is giving him and is constantly making adjustments at the line... Puts his team in the correct play almost seamlessly at the line of scrimmage... Great decision maker, does a good job reading the defense... Great feet within the pocket and a terrific overall athlete, his combine numbers were very similar to Cam Newton's from a year earlier... Good scrambler; was second on the team in rushing in each of his first two years but has learned to run less as a junior to preserve his health... Very smart kid, top student, a leader on and off the field... Played in a pro-style offense, was coached by former NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh for first two years at Stanford... Father Oliver Luck was an NFL quarterback for the Houston Oilers... The complete package, the best quarterback prospect since John Elway in 1983.
Negatives -- Might be receiving too much hype, has already been hailed as a future Hall of Famer by many people around the NFL... Good at resetting his feet after scrambling but isn't all that accurate when he's throwing while on the run... Has some problems with his trajectory on his deep throws, will put too much loft on the ball... Struggled a bit towards the end of 2011, threw seven interceptions in his final six games... Suffered a broken index finger in 2009 which caused him to miss the Sun Bowl.
